Service Dogs America

Service Dogs America was formed in 2007 for the express purpose to provide a way for persons with disabilities (Psychiatric, Psychological or physical) to be accompanied by their dogs.

The term Service Dog encompasses a broad range of assistance animals that have been trained to assist their owners with their disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires public and privately owned establishments serving the public, such as restaurants, hotels, retail stores, taxicabs, airplanes, theaters, concert halls, and sports facilities, to allow people with disabilities to bring their service animals onto business premises in whatever areas customers are generally allowed.

SDA recognizes that every person
in America may have some form of disability.

Most persons rely on their dog to assist them in many different ways. Ensure your dog will be allowed to accompany you wherever you need to go by properly identifying him/her as a service dog with an Identification Package provided by Service Dogs America.

Our Service Dogs America team provides 24/7 service (808) 291-0429 for the benefit of our clients. We answer questions and have a network of associates to assist with any situation you may encounter.

There is NO legal requirement in the United States for a Service Dog to be trained by a Professional Trainer in order to have "public access" rights. For some reason, Service Dog organizations always like to make it sound as if ONLY dogs professionally trained have public access rights.

A disabled person very much has the right to train his or her own Service Dog, either with the help of a trainer or without the help of a trainer. That dog, once the two requirements are met (owner has a disability and dog is trained to assist the person) has every bit as much public access as dogs trained by a professional trainer. That dog is every bit as much entitled to wearing a Service Dog vest.

There is no such thing as a "certifying" authority for Service Dogs in the United States
